    (Can I patronize? should be funny to point out that) ackshually, ducks are birds regardless of what they’re eating. Like, at all times. Same happens with Penguins, Ostrich, and… Mmm… other birds! gotcha!! Can’t say the same with Velociraptors :P

      Nobody said that the act of eating birdseed was the thing that makes the ducks birds.

          Yes.

          if 'is_eating_birdseed' in obj.__dir__() and obj.is_eating_birdseed:
              return 'Is duck!'

        I know… yet,

        ducks eating birdseed were, in fact, birds.

      Technically ducks and velociraptors are both dinosaurs, regardless of what they eat.
